Featuring
some of the best musicians from the east coast in a selection of
wonderful standards in fresh and inventive arrangements. The
classic mellow sound of vibes and guitar spiced up with a bit of
Django and some bluesy slide guitar. All on the classical nylon string
guitar. Great rhythm section work by Webber and Wilson and Chuck Redd is one swinging vibes player.
Recorded at Avatar studios.

"..Jacob Fischers ”In New York City”
is a well worked-out and actually also somewhat different album, well
worth to discover and include even in the most selective of record
collections. Jacob is without a doubt one of our "great scandinavian
jazmusicians"

Jacob Fischer
friends

A
collection of both American and Scandinavian Christmas
songs in imaginative arrangements. Performed in a lyrical and humorous
way that appeals to a wide audience but also music on a very high level
performed by some of Denmarks top jazz musicians..Jacob
Fischer
trio with Francesco Calí :

..Jazz with a mediterranean
flavourFischer
at his most Djangoesque - Sicilian Accordionist Francesco Calì adds a
charming mediterranean flavour to the music which covers Jacob Fischer
originals with gypsy as well as brazilian inspirations , some wonderful
Nina Rota scores from Fellinis movies and
some well chosen standards.

"..Without a
doubt album of the year for me, and a masterpiece that goes directly to
the heart !"

5/5***** Lasse
Seger Orkester Journalen Sweden

"..
Sure, there are traces of Django in Fischer's rapid acoustic runs and
glissandi. But above all it's the sound of Fischer. His imaginative,
harmonically and melodically sophisticated playing is his own, as is
his outstanding chordal work.."
